Finance Committee approves adjusted part‑time, temporary and seasonal wage rates
Summary
The Wausau Finance Committee approved adjusted wage rates for part‑time, temporary and seasonal employees for public access, police and DPW without requiring a budget modification, committee members were told.
The Wausau Finance Committee approved adjusted wage rates for the city’s part‑time, temporary and seasonal employees at its Feb. 11 meeting.
Committee members said the change affects seasonal public access, police and Department of Public Works positions and will not require a budget modification because the total line‑item for seasonal wages remains unchanged. Interim Human Resources Director Rick Rubo and Dustin from the Department of Public Works were present to answer questions.
"This would not require a budget modification because the line item for the total amount of money spent on seasonal rate wages will stay the same," Mary Anne Craig said during the discussion, referring to closeout work on 2024 accounts. Alder Tierney moved the wage adjustment; Alder Henke seconded the motion. The committee approved the change by voice vote.
Committee members discussed that the adjusted rates would be achieved within the existing seasonal wages allocation by reducing contracted hours rather than increasing the overall seasonal wage budget.
No further details on the specific rate amounts or the number of employees affected were provided in the meeting record.
The committee moved next to other agenda items after approving the wage changes.
